Synthesis and Study of the Physicochemical Properties of Composite Solid Electrolytes (C4H9)3CH3NBF4–Cnanodiamonds

Abstract

The paper presents the results of studies of the structural, thermal, and transport properties of solid composite electrolytes (1 – x)(C₄H₉)₃CH₃NBF₄–xC_ND (where C_ND are nanodispersed diamonds, 0 ≤ x < 1, x is the mole fraction). It was shown by the Pawley method that the crystal structure of the low-temperature (C₄H₉)₃CH₃NBF₄ phase is described by the space symmetry group P4₂/ncm. The addition of an inert nanodiamond additive led to an increase in the electric conductivity of the composite electrolyte by four orders of magnitude to 1.3 × 10^–3 S/cm at 145°C and at x = 0.98. The theoretical dependences adequately describe the experimental data in the concentration range 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.99 at temperatures of 84 and 127°C.
